Best way to create a role based app for teachers and students?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 77

Hi, 

 

I am a teacher at a school and I am looking to build a role based app where teachers can add points to students. While students can see their points, but not be able to add themselves points (read only). 

 

How best can I achieve this because I am seeing lots of options including creating groups in Azure to specific sharepoint lists that checks against a list of users and assigned roles. 

 

The solution would need to be scalable to over 1000 people (teachers and students)

 

THnak you in advance.

    Do you have access to Premium licenses? Should teachers only be able to assign points to their own students, or any student?

    With premium licenses, I would use Dataverse, and set up security roles with write access to either user owned records, or all, based on the answer on second question. Without premium licenses, on sharepoint you would set up different roles (Teachers with read all and write all, and students with read their own).

    In either case, you would create Azure AD group, one for teachers, one for students, and either share security roles with the groups, or add them in sharepoint for the roles you created.

    Thank you for your reply. I am unsure which license we have. Is there a way I can find out? 

     

    If we do, what should I communicate to my admin in order to give me access to Dataverse? 

     

    Also, in the app, teachers should be able to award any student a housepoint. Is this possible with Dataverse? 

     

    Kind regards,
